Youth Investment Fund (YTF) - UK

We’re here to create, expand and improve local youth facilities and their services, to drive positive outcomes for young people, including improved mental and physical wellbeing, and skills for life and work.
The Youth Investment Fund (YIF) is made up of £288m capital and up to £80m revenue grants and is funded by the UK Government.

Phase 1 was launched in January by Children in Need on behalf of the UK Government delivering £12 million of funding for small-scale projects and we’re now inviting expressions of interest for phase 2.

Our aim is to deliver grants for up to 300 facilities that:

• represent positive value for money,
• are environmentally sustainable,
• and enable positive activities for young people aged 11 to 18 (up to 25 for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)

in eligible places across England, by 2024/25.
